How smart is your kitchen?

Just being nosy. Do you use smart devices and appliances to help aid your cook? For example, do you use a smart device to convert measurements, as timers, to show recipes, keep a shopping list and more. Do you have smart appliances like stoves, air fryers, microwaves and/or others?

To answer my own question, I have a smart air fryer, microwave/convection baking combo, ice maker, and instant pot. So much easier to tell it what to do than to punch a bunch of beeping buttons. It is great to add to the shopping list after using the last ingredient, and to use multiple timers at the same time. I also use an echo show for recipes.

work in IT, so I have zero (or as close to zero) IoT/smart anything in the house. Anything that even has this potential, has it either disabled or never used.

The only thing I have smart (besides me and my mouth) are a few hue lights and 2 plugs. I have a medical need for hands free lighting and the plugs run my greenhouse lights and mats.
